hey.
well im trying ot make graphs wiht this but im gona keep my question
very simple.

paint.
I'm using JBuilder and i don't know how to compile an run something so
that it displays the drawing i thought i made. for example i have a
class that extends canvas. It's only methods are the Constructor and
Paint(Graphics g).

How do i actualy paint it ont he canvas and display it?

Here is how you extend Canvas to draw a line on it. You might be better
served by using a text editor and creating all of your own code at this
stage of your experience.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class Test extends Canvas {
public Test() {
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,300));
}

public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawLine(0,0,400,300);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
Frame f = new Frame();
f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
Test t = new Test();
f.add(t,BorderLayout.CENTER);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
}
}

Well I can't help you with JBuilder because I don't use those things.
If you have the JDK installed on your computer then compile the program
I gave you with;

javac Test.java

and run it with;

java Test

If you need help installing the compiler post again.
